The process of extracting these minerals from the ore has contentious economic, environmental and social implications. While the environmental impacts of their production have already been analyzed in several studies, the economic and the social perspective is still under-researched. The Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) approach employed in the present research explores whether there is a difference in social risks for rare earth permanent magnet production from three different rare earth ore production locations and the associated value chains. While one is located completely in China, another is composed of processes in Australia and Malaysia. The third process chain combines processes in the United States and Japan. The Product Social Impact Life Cycle Assessment (PSILCA) 2.0 database is used to assess the social implications. The analysis focuses on value chain actors, a stakeholder group of great interest to businesses but often underrepresented in S-LCA research. The impact categories describing this stakeholder group pertain to issues of social responsibility along the value chain, fair competition and corruption. Overall, the US value chain indicates the lowest level of social risk along the supply chain. However, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the social risks a sectoral and geographical analysis is conducted. Across all three cases, the mineral, fossil fuel and chemical sectors are shown to be problematic. 000864593 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-153$$a153 - Assessment of Energy Systems – Addressing Issues of Energy Efficiency and Energy Security (POF3-153)$$cPOF3-153$$fPOF III$$x0 000864593 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000864593 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)168163$$aWulf, Christina$$b1$$eCorresponding author 000864593 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130493$$aZapp, Petra$$b2$$ufzj 000864593 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130483$$aSchreiber, Andrea$$b3$$ufzj 000864593 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130473$$aMarx, Josefine$$b4$$ufzj 000864593 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2830683-1$$a10.1016/j.spc.2019.07.006$$gVol. 19, p. 257 - 269$$p257 - 269$$tSustainable production and consumption$$v19$$x2352-5509$$y2019 000864593 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:864593$$pVDB 000864593 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)168163$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000864593 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130493$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b2$$kFZJ 000864593 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130483$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 000864593 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130473$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b4$$kFZJ 000864593 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-153$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-150$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lTechnologie, Innovation und Gesellschaft$$vAssessment of Energy Systems – Addressing Issues of Energy Efficiency and Energy Security$$x0 000864593 9141_ $$y2019 000864593 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000864593 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-STE-20101013$$kIEK-STE$$lSystemforschung und Technologische Entwicklung$$x0 000864593 980__ $$ajournal 000864593 980__ $$aVDB 000864593 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-STE-20101013 000864593 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
